THE KIDS FROM HOME
They may be fighting men to the world at large but every
mother and father in Camden and Kershaw County with a boy
in khaki knows that those men out there on a battle field
crouching in a foxhole, or standing watch on a pitching de
stroyer in mid-ocean are the same warm-hearted, happy kids
who only yesterday were playing marbles in the backyard,
or scooting around town in a paint-dobbed old flivver.
You saw them here just the other day—delivering papers,
working after school at the filling station, mowing the front
lawn under protest, or building a shack in the vadant lot.
How many times recently we've heard some dad say, “1
wish I could be right with that boy of mine to cheer him up
and keep him from getting homesick.” And, if there’s been
a tight feeling in your throat, dad, its only natural.
But, even though you can’t go out with that liRi yourself,
rest assured there’s a fellow along with your boy’s outfit to
buck him up when he’s down-hearted, to take any mewage
he wants sent along home, or to just talk. That fellow m the
Red Cross field director, sent along with your boy by the
American people,,
That’s why its important right now for all of us to do
our part in the American Red Crews War Fund. Let’s keep
the Red Cross at his side!

HE’S A GRAND CHAP
Dr. John W. Corbett, Camden’s grand old man, beloved
of young and old, was 81 years of age last FridAy. That even
ing Dr. Corbett, one of the first surgeons to operate in the
Camden hospital, was a guest at the annual ball of the Cam
den Hospital Auxiliaiy at the Sarsfield club.
During the evening, the venerable doctor was awarded
„Ahe prize for being the handsomest man at the ball. It waw
a verdict that was accorded ^the unanimous approv^W^ the
many people at the affair.
At the risk 6f having an expert in English look ^kance
at oiu* use of a grammatical adjunct which we believe is more
-fltijim; tlisnwe submit the word ’’beautiful,”
J^^in defihlhg^he word as It pertains to the belovect tfocTor,
we might mention “beauty of character, beauty of all the fine
things in life that go to make up an outstanding citizien, beauty
in the things that make for a useful purpose in life—these
are but a few.
We think that the highest tribute that can be paid to
Dr. Corbett comes from the pen of Sam Latimer,'publisher of
the Columbia State. This writer called upon Publisher Lati
mer last ^tisrday and during the course of a chat, mentioned
the birthday anniversary of Camden’s venerated Dr. Corbett
Monday morning Mr. Latimer expressed himself in The State
aa follows:
“Had we known last Friday that Dr. John W. Corbett of
Camden, was to celebrate his eighty-first birthday, we would
have greeted him that morning with “Many happy returns
of the day!” But since we didn’t have the information, we
